Jamie Spears Granted Permanent Conservatorship of Britney's Estate

Britney Keeps Dancing While Jamie Takes Permanent Control

It was another night of dancing for Britney Spears, who stepped out of the studio with her hoodie in LA this week. While Brit's been busy with her fitness routines, her lawyers continue to take care of her legal issues. She's been under her father's conservatorship since February, and now he's taken on permanent responsibility. Jamie will continue to handle everything from her money to her business decisions to career moves. Having her dad around has been a main factor in Britney's turnaround, so we're all for anything that keeps her so happy, healthy and closer to a major comeback.

I think this is great. I don't think Britney's problems are the type that can just go away immediately by taking a magic pill, but she seems to be on the way to recovering her career, her relationship with her kids, and damn she LOOKS good! Hopefully her father will be able to help her continue in her recovery and keep her estate and affairs safe. Good for him.
As to the whole, "well they shouldn't have screwed up in the first place," I do agree the Spears family doesn't appear too fabulous, but the problems they had, many good families DO have them. And you can't just get a mental illness from being poorly raised- it has a huge genetic component. Of course, I'm sure having such instability in her life from her early success and possible lack of parenting didn't help though!
I absolutely agree with you Ginger.
And ya know, people who are like, "Britney stinks!" You're taking this a little too seriously, she is no musical genius, she's just a popstar we have on our workout playlists and sometimes hear at the clubs.

I think this post is a little misleading. I read somewhere - I think it was on people.com - that Britney spoke to the lawyer and it was HER wish that her father remain conservator. They also said that "permanent" conservator is a misleading term, since it doesn't necessarily mean that he will be hers forever.

Judges don't put you under permanent conservatorship just because you make poor choices. There has to be doctors or psychiatrists who write reports outlining specifics in how you are incapacitated. It could go on for many years, but at least under supervision she gets to have some relationship with her kids. Her problems started way before KFed, and if it had been recognized earlier, she might not have married two different men in the same year. People close to her probably just thought she was acting out as a young adult and didn't recognize the signs back then.

I wish her well and that it all works out for the better. I think there are some people who need that stronger personality to help them through life and in her case it's her Dad. Thankfully she let him in and maybe she needs the continued guidance. At least she's not out shaving her head and hanging out with losers! Go Britney!

i think people are really pulling for Britney, but you almost wonder if this piece of trash place we called Hollywood is just going to drag her down again... its like a dark hole, sucking the decent morals and life out of everyone. Her sister was smart to move back to Louisiana...i still hope for her.

i feel so sorry for her. yeah, shes doing better than before, but i dont think she can ever be "normal". her life is in such constant turmoil and scrutiny im surprised she hasnt completely lost it. exercise is definitely the best medicine. for now.

It all goes back to mommy and daddy. I think Britney has a complex between being the sweet angelic little girl that pleases her parents, with the rebellious wild child who makes thoughtless choices. I'm not a fan of her or her music, but it would be nice to see her stand on her own to feet and make wise and mature decisions. Unfortunately, she has the media tracking her every step of the way which must be such an invasion from making that progress.

One thing comes to mind. If you don't raise your kids right the first time eventually you will have to come back and do it right the second time around.At least Britney is getting better. I'm pulling for her. I think pathetic K-fed was most of her problem.

I love her, I can't help it. She seems so fragile and lost. I think she's on the road to recovery, but she was so messed up for so long that it's going to take some time for her to sort through her emotional problems. These are candids of her post-workout, so she's probably tired and doesn't feel like mugging for the papparazzi. But she looks generally stable and often happy lately.

Yeah that is kinda weird--she's a grown woman who can't seem to make intelligent choices for herself. Although she never really had to grow up in the sense that most people do. She's been bred to be a performer, nothing more. It seems a lot of child stars have a hard time becoming adults.
